Chapter 987: Chapter 970: Mysterious Tracks of Different Tribes - Bewildering!

[Chief requests recommendations, ninth installment is up! Dear book friends, hurry to join the group, it ends on the 20th]

The couple nestled together, gazing upon the entire Gu Yuan Tribe, where millions of tribespeople gathered, mingling from dawn to dusk—a scene of serenity.

With their combined strength, they could clearly inspect every corner of the tribe: the hustle of the tribe members and the competitions among warriors.

Watching the smoke rise continuously, faint as clouds, the once noisy tribe began to quiet down, settling into the evening after a day’s clamor.

"Husband, Zi Yuan running out of the tribe was your doing, wasn’t it?" Suddenly, Mu Qing lifted her head with eyes as sparkling as new stars, carrying a hint of speculation.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen replied with a light chuckle, "What makes you say that?"

"Though Zi Yuan gets along well with Little Pegasus, how could she trick him into leaving the tribe without your permission? Why would Little Pegasus follow her in such mischief?"

Mu Qing answered, and as a married couple, they naturally understood each other very well. However, in the next moment, a trace of worry crossed Mu Qing’s face.

"Husband, using Zi Yuan to escape the tribe and having Little Pegasus follow her can’t be that simple, can it? You surely don’t mean that little Zi Yuan is truly in danger, do you?"

Xiao Chen’s gaze shifted to Mu Qing’s face, and their eyes met. He hadn’t expected Mu Qing to actually guess that he had another motive.

A moment later, without hesitation, Xiao Chen said, "As early as a year ago, I communicated with the Border Wasteland Divine Cauldron, using the fate and earth veins of the Entire Border Wilderness Domain to inspect the Border Wasteland. I discovered a very secretive foreign race had arrived in our domain!"

"A foreign race has come to Border Wasteland!" Mu Qing’s eyes deepened with worry. Over the years, the Gu Yuan Tribe had slain no fewer than a hundred foreign warriors of Venerable rank or higher, including several legendary strong ones.

However, not all foreign strong ones recklessly rush into the Border Wasteland; some use treasures to evade detection by the Gu Yuan Tribe. Those are the most dangerous!

A solemn look also flickered through Xiao Chen’s eyes as he felt the change in Mu Qing’s heart and instinctively held her tighter in his arms.

"But throughout this year, I’ve been trying to locate this foreign race. Yet, every time I almost find them, their aura disappears into thin air, as if the trail was cut off completely!"

"To this day, I am unclear how many of them there are or how powerful they are!"

Holding Mu Qing in his arms, Xiao Chen’s gaze swept across the dusky Vast Land, his body exuding a tremendously powerful aura.

Clearly, anyone in the Border Wasteland who could elude his inspection must possess a treasure that shields their aura!

"However, Qing’er, you need not worry. This foreign race’s strength is probably not formidable; otherwise, they would have swept through our domain directly, rather than going through such trouble to conceal themselves!"

"Could they be plotting something?" Mu Qing asked.

In days past, when foreign races descended on the Human World, it was nothing short of hunting down human warriors and destroying the Human War Tribe. Yet these days, the Entire Border Wilderness Domain had not been annihilated.

Now, the Entire Border Wilderness Domain is entirely under the control of the Gu Yuan Tribe, with strengthened connections between tribes. Even if a lower Battle Division were wiped out, news would likely arrive swiftly.

But the Border Wasteland has been very peaceful!

Could it be that the foreign races have changed their preferences, no longer preying on humans?

That is clearly impossible!

The only possibility is that this foreign race wants to remain hidden, undetected by the Gu Yuan Tribe!

"I suspect, this foreign race has come for the Beast-controlling Tribe Void Road guarded by our Gu Yuan Tribe, and this foreign race is the Royal Beast Race!" Soon, Xiao Chen’s voice rang out again.

"Beast-controlling Tribe Void Road!" Mu Qing’s worry deepened visibly.

The higher one stands, the farther one sees. When Xiao Chen first received the guardian plate of the Void Ancient Route, they believed it was just a common marquis-grade Void Road belonging to a foreign race, especially since when Xiao Chen first encountered the Purple Snake Venerable, he had assumed that the Purple Snake Marquis Clan was just an ordinary marquis clan.

Only when the Gu Yuan Tribe forged their fate and advanced to the Legendary Marquis Department did they realize that there was far more hidden than met the eye. The events of those years, when viewed with today’s experience, were utterly bizarre!

Since entering that hidden underground world, it was as though Xiao Chen had entered a trap, entangled in its mysteries for years!

Back then, when Xiao Chen met the Purple Snake Venerable, he estimated that his strength was at the sixth layer of the Towering Realm. But now, thinking back, if it were just an ordinary marquis part, it could not have been preserved.

Moreover, when Xiao Chen tried to investigate further, he could no longer find that underground world, despite his strength now being at the Legendary Realm. It remained impenetrable to any secrets!

It vanished into thin air!

There were also the three Divine Weapons of the Purple Snake Marquis Clan that Xiao Chen had obtained. Ordinary warrior\’s Divine Weapons, even after several generations, could not accumulate such a massive amount of human luck.

After Shi Ya and Xue Sha obtained these Divine Weapons, although they continued to slay foreign races over the years, gaining the enhancement of human luck and even nearing their own battle fame to the silver level,

it was primarily due to the substantial accumulation of luck within the Divine Weapons themselves. Otherwise, their martial achievements alone would not be enough for the Human Race Group to bestow such an abundant power of luck!

The most important was the Divine Object that suppressed luck, the God-worship Cauldron, capable of suppressing the top Legendary Marquis Department. Even with the current progress of all parts of the Yuan Tribe, this divine cauldron still hadn’t reached its limits.

As the Purple Snake Venerable once said, this God-worship Cauldron was created by the first leader of the Purple Snake Clan by gathering divine metals from all directions when the clan was established!

A warrior capable of forging a Divine Cauldron to suppress the luck of the top Legendary Marquis Department must at least have the power of the Half King Realm, or even be among the top ranks within the Near Monarch Experts!

Knowing this, one can only imagine the strength of the Snake Battle Domain!

But why did the Purple Snake Venerable deceive him back then—or perhaps it should not be called deception, but rather, there was a concealment, as if there were some taboos!

"Qing Er, now that our Gu Yuan Tribe has completely transformed, even if foreign races descend, unless it is their monarch in person, we are not afraid," Xiao Chen comforted Mu Qing gently, patting her shoulder softly.

"Isn’t it too reckless for the lord to let Zi Yuan and the little Pegasus go together?" Mu Qing quickly reacted, her eyes filled with deep concern!

The girl thought she was fortunate to have escaped the tribe and could finally, like her senior brothers and sisters, venture into the Great Wasteland, unaware that the Border Wasteland Region is now fraught with crises!

"The girl doesn’t know, and besides, Yuan’er escaped the tribe to travel around the Border Wasteland, going to places where only her senior brothers and sisters could go, who are all stationed at the frontier of the Border Wasteland."

"By traveling around like this, she would have seen the entire Border Wasteland Region. The little Pegasus can also use this chance to scout the entire Border Wasteland Region. If he discovers anything, all the better; if not, it’s still good as he’s ensuring the girl’s safety!"

Hearing this, Mu Qing nodded, her concern somewhat relieved, but thinking of Zi Yuan\’s stubborn little personality, her worry deepened again.

"Come with me!" With those words from Xiao Chen, two figures disappeared beneath the night sky above the central Bronze Tower.

The next moment, Xiao Chen led Mu Qing into a grand hall, one of the one hundred and eight Star Palaces of the Bronze Ancient City!

This grand hall was located in the northwestern corner of the tribe, inconspicuous among the one hundred and eight halls.

But upon entering the grand hall, they discovered it was another universe inside because entering this grand hall was like coming into the Star River in the sky.

Countless stars hung above the space of the grand hall, twinkling brightly, and within these twinkling stars, one hundred and eight stars were particularly dazzling, forming a slow-moving Celestial Star Map!

However, of these one hundred and eight stars, only seventy-two shone brightly, the remaining thirty-six dim, as if they had not yet revived!
